[Chevelle-list] BRAD--My 540 stats

Mon Jul 2 13:11:47 MDT 2007

Joe,

Do you have flow numbers for the heads?  I don't have the Dart Pro 1 in my
files.  I also need the cam lobe center and centerline unless I can find a
copy for this cam online.  I guessed at 112 for each.

The BBC heads I have are:
Canfield 305
Edelbrock 6040, 6045, 6055, 7765, Performer, VictorCNC, Victor JR
Holley Avenger
WP Jenkins Merlin (used this for my guess) Aluminum and Iron 
GM 049 Oval, 188 Rectangular

Guess numbers:

RPM    TQ    HP
2000   456   174
2500   507   241
3000   528   302
3500   571   381
4000   617   470
4500   657   558
5000   665   633
5500   652   683
6000   618   706
6500   568   704
7000   512   682
7500   450   643
